February Friday Favorites
I really should write notes on my phone if no paper is available when I have an idea. Here I am in front of my computer writing my post for tomorrow and I have no idea which Friday Favorites I will share wih you today! I am very grateful that Georgia was not hit by the cold front and am keeping everyone in Texas in my prayers. I actually have friends whom I didn’t realize had just moved there but thankfully nothing major has happened to their house. We always wish for snow but our infracture in the south is not prepared for it nor do we know how to deal with it but from what I understand a lot of the outages could have been prevented if the power companies in Texas had winterized their plants. Nonetheless, those are some record lows and I pray that power is restored soon for all and that everyone can start the cleanup and taking care of their homes. It’s one thing for someone financially able and with insurance to make repairs but my heart goes to those who are not in that position.
On a lighter note, I did want to share a few things with you this Friday: trivial and fun things that have brought a smile to my face this month.
New Hangers
I bought some new hangers to streamline by closet at the beginning of the month and that is when I realized I am not lacking in clothes! I had to go back a few times to buy more hangers. As I replacs my old ones with these velvet ones from TJ Maxx (they are not the sturdiest but were in my price range), I continued to cull my wardrobe and started a new donation pile. I also went through the boys clothes as I was replacing some of their little hangers with my old ones. All I can say is that I have no reason to purchase any cold weather clothes next fall and winter!
Fresh Flowers and Fruit
I bought myself a handful of sunflowers a few weeks ago and then my husband brought roses home for Valentines. I am also trying to buy lots of fruit. The boys take multivitamins but there is nothing like fresh fruit! The colors bring a smile to my face when I am in the kitchen.
Visit to the Tennesee Aquarium
I will share more pictures from our visit on Wednesday but here is one of the pictures my son took. The only edit was to take out a reflection in the glass pane. Each time we visit, we come home with a new favorite sea creature.
A bientôt!

There is nothing like fresh flowers and brightly colored fruit to bring a smile to my face! I am hoping to get to the aquarium in the next few weeks with my boys as I just find it so relaxing watching the fish and we too find some new creature to learn about and fixate on with each trip.

I think I am going to try to keep getting some until I plant some sunflowers this spring!

I like to visit those kind of aquariums. There are some amazing looking fish out there. I need to get me some fresh flowers in the house, tulips are my favorite.

The Georgia aquarium in Atlanta is very impressive with whale sharks, belugas and lots of different fish and large tanks but we haven’t gotten a membership there in a while because it much more expensive. Maybe this summer!

I have those skinny hangers as well, and I love them! It was crazy how much space my old hangers took up!! Those flowers are beautiful! How fun is it to go to the aquarium, that is one of my favorite places to go! Have a wonderful day!!

Thanks, Abby! The hangers do take a lot less space than the old ones and I like the uniformity. I still need one more pack probably but I am satisfied with how the closet looks right now.

And it gets pricey as one realizes how many clothes are in the closet!

I love your hangers and how your clothes look on them. I have been thinking about purchasing some. Also, I totally agree with you on fruit, I have been buying more oranges and apples. I love how you displayed them. Currently mine just sit in whatever dish I grab after I come home from shopping. I really like how you arranged yours in the bright colored bowl.

I have a couple dish I bought at TjMaxx over the years that are colorful that help bring joy! I also have a two tiered metal thing for all of the rest of the fruit!
Michelle
The marine fish is so awesome! Your son is a good photographer.

The hangers are so perfect! I knew I had to do something with my closet when I purchased two extra packs of hangers and it was still not enough! I’m really enjoying my minimal closet now and have a ton of extra hangers which I will be donating. Maybe I can treat myself to some pretty ones now that I won’t need that many.
Love the rose bouquet!

I was surprised how many hangers I had to buy! I will say though it has helped me get rid of a few more things I have not worn in a couple of years but then I did find 9 things at Goodwill and my mom today just gave me two dresses! Glad I didn’t toss out all of my old hangers!
Grace
Loved seeing your pics of the aquarium on Instagram! Those flowers are very pretty too – nothing brightens up a room like fresh flowers.
Miles of smiles,
